Prince's solo on still my guitar gently weeps appreciation thread.

...i bought this song on itunes because of this solo. hell, i added it to my PR!NCE playlist not because bruh played a little rhythm guitar on it, but because i believe he told the ghost of George Harrison that he was about to make his song...his. i heard a story that PR!NCE didn't get much time to rehearse with the other guys, so the other lead solo guitar was feeling himself. George's son, i believe, talked with PR!NCE and asked if he'd still be able to mess with it since he'd missed so much rehearsal time. P said he was good to play...he worked out the solo on his own.

if you watch the whole video, right before PR!NCE's solo, George's son give him the "it's your go" like they don't know what dude was about to do. P gets going and at about the 3:45 mark, he slowly looks back over at the other solo guitar, and had the hohner tell him that this is why P is going into the R&RHOF and his ass is outchea playing gigs.

he then proceeds to plymouth rock the song, and tossed the madcat up into the rock 'n roll hall of fame clouds above. son was sic

Somebody that didn’t fukk around about his instruments

This was the Rolling Stone R&R hall of fame. The same Rolling Stone that didn't put him on the top 100 guitarists of all time. He took it very personally.
